  5.  
  6. The Alpha and the Gamma, heavily injured in their battle, have collapsed; the Gamma lays on his back, and the Alpha lays on his side.
  7.  
  8.  
  9. (News Anchor): Did we get that all?
  10.  
  11. (Cameraman): Yes.
  12.  
  13. (News Anchor): Stupendous! That's right folks, you've just witnessed the entire battle between the mighty Alpha and the fearsome Gamma! Both monsters appear to be down though and-- Wait, it looks like both parties are getting back up!
  14.  
  15.  
  16. The Alpha and the Gamma slowly get back to their feet and shake themselves out of their daze. Both now look forwards, and, upon seeing each other, begin a roar-down.
  17.  
  18.  
  19. (News Anchor): It looks like these two are about to get ready for round 2! This sure is--
  20.  
  21.  
  22. The soft shriek of the Zeta is heard in the distance, getting the attention of the news crew and the two titans on the ground. Out of the clouds, the majestic shape of the Zeta emerges; glowing particles are released from her wings that cover a large area and light up the surroundings.
  23.  
  24. As the two grounded monsters look up towards the Zeta flying overhead, the shower of glowing particles causes the Alpha and Gamma to ease up their tense battle stances, relaxing the two and wiping away any remnant of aggression.
  25.  
  26.  
  27. (News Anchor): Folks, you're seeing this live. The beautiful creature that just arrived on the scene has somehow calmed these two giants down, and now all three are grouping up, as if to communicate with each other.
  28.  
  29.  
  30. The trio of giants form up together, with the Zeta hovering low over the ground between the Gamma and Alpha. The three begin to communicate via growls and head movements; the Alpha's dorsal plates glowing blue in odd patterns and the Zeta's antennae glowing yellow in a similar fashion, as well.
  31.  
  32. The three then proceed to turn towards the sea; the Zeta flies ahead, with the Alpha and Gamma walking back towards the ocean and following closely behind her as she leads the others.

  42.  
  43. In front of the main building, Hephaestus stands on the podium in the exact same manner as Zeus did when he first presented the Betas/Gyaos to the Atlantean empire.
  44.  
  45.  
  46. (Hephaestus): People of Atlantis, thank you for allowing me your attention! I have quite a display to show you all!
  47.  
  48.  
  49. Pushing through the crowds are Zeus and several military personnel, whom make their way to the podium.
  50.  
  51.  
  52. (Zeus): Hephaestus, what do you think you're doing?!?
  53.  
  54. (Hephaestus): Ah, Zeus, my old friend, come! Join me in this presentation!
  55.  
  56. (Zeus): Hephaestus, this is no time for--
  57.  
  58.  
  59. Hephaestus steps off the podium, putting his arm around Zeus's shoulder and bringing him back up to the stage.
  60.  
  61.  
  62. (Hephaestus): Good people, my long-time partner and our gracious leader, Zeus! He helped inspire this little creation of mine! Release the seals!
  63.  
  64.  
  65. A platform rises from behind the podium, carrying an object covered by a veil.
  66.  
  67.  
  68. (Zeus): Hephaestus, you'd better hope this little project of yours holds water, or you're out of here faster than a flying Gyaos!
  69.  
  70. (Hephaestus): Do not worry. It will truly be something to die for.
  71.  
  72.  
  73. The veil is pulled off, and a large snail-like shell, with a mouthless featherless phoenix-like head and a few tentacles, emerges; the audience is stunned at its appearance. Hephaestus walks up to the creature and pets it, which seems to prompt the creature to coo in satisfaction.
  74.  
  75.  
  76. (Hephaestus): I call this little miracle 'Irys'. It is the next step in our biological clean-up operations. Observe.
  77.  
  78.  
  79. A large platform of waste is brought up, and Irys's head begins to glow soon after; the telltale shriek of a Beta/Gyaos is heard off in the distance. The audience looks up and sees a Beta/Gyaos swoop down to feed on the waste ravenously; it walks up to Irys and Hephaestus after finishing its meal.
  80.  
  81.  
  82. (Hephaestus): As you can see, this creature here can guide our Gyaos clean-up system towards waste more efficiently due to its powerful telepathic properties. And observe this as well!
  83.  
  84.  
  85. Hephaestus takes out a piece of waste that Irys punctures with a barb from one of its tentacles, promptly absorbing it; the glowing sack on its main body seems to grow a little bit, afterwards.
  86.  
  87.  
  88. (Hephaestus): This creature is also a cleaner organism, but unlike the Gyaos, it will not only consume this waste, but can transform it into reusable energy!
  89.  
  90.  
  91. The Atlantean audience begins to cheer at this newfound miracle as Hephaestus looks at Zeus with a smile; his former superior begrudgingly bows with him.
